πŸ” The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe what people did in the past. To reach A2, you need to move from "is" to "did."

The Pattern: Person + Action (Past) + Object

Examples from the text:

  • Police β†’\rightarrow arrested β†’\rightarrow a man
  • He β†’\rightarrow used β†’\rightarrow Instagram
  • He β†’\rightarrow told β†’\rightarrow her
  • Police β†’\rightarrow sent β†’\rightarrow a man

πŸ’‘ Simple Rule for You: Most of these words end in -ed (arrested, used). These are regular. Some change completely (tell β†’\rightarrow told, send β†’\rightarrow sent). These are irregular.

Quick Vocabulary Shift:

  • Now: He works in a salon. β†’\rightarrow Past: He worked in a salon.
  • Now: Police offer money. β†’\rightarrow Past: Police offered money.
